adventurous lighthearted slow-paced

1.0

Nope. Maybe the later books are funnier and better written and sexier. This was disappointing after so many talking highly of it. I don’t recommend.

dark funny hopeful lighthearted tense fast-paced

5.0

read this because i wanted to know what the absolute fuck was going on. i’d seen the memes, and curiosity got me.
but holy shit. i had such a fun time.

anyone reviewing this like it’s meant to be incredibly serious mind-blowing sci-fi literature is missing the point.
this is just a silly goofy time.

bonus points for endless star wars references. it’s what george would want.

What in the cinnamon toast fuck did I just read????

The smut by no means makes up for the atrocity that was this storyline.  I'd rather suffer watching the sex scenes in Bridgerton with my parents than read any more books in this series. Just because you write it doesn't mean you have to publish it.

Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon is the first novel in the Ice Planet Barbarians romantic sci-fi series, and it's a book that I'm disappointed in. Trigger warnings in this book include; gang rape, dubious consent, and

pregnancy.

Within the first 7% of the this book the author writes in a minor character who's only purpose in this story is to be the victim of alien gang rape (that is an on page scene) and then she dies off page and is found frozen in this snow later. 

When Viktal (the sexy barbarian)  first meets Georgie, our protagonist, he instantly sticks his face in her privates and begins giving her oral without consent? The Georgie makes a joke about how she should be worried about being raped but instead she can't stop laughing at how ticklish everything is. Wow. Okay. 

I really had high hopes for this series, I thought I would like it but I couldn't even get 7% of the way through without wanting to DNF this shit. Well I finished it and it didn't get much better.

I absolutely hate pregnancy tropes so this explains why I didn't care for the ending very much.

It's unfortunate that I didn't like this book that much because Viktal and Georgie were cute together. 

I'm giving this 2 stars out of 5, as I had a hard time enjoying this.
⭐️⭐️ 2/5 Stars
